G'Day slackie,
Does youse guys have the ability to switch the Centres to operate the S. Island VHF's from the North, and vicky verka..??
Just curious is all.....
In the 'old days' of F.S. still being operative, we were able to switch acft in the affected area to other units via HF - happened once or twice with 'fire warnings' at Perth.
From memory, if ATC also had to evacuate, I think the call was to contact the other FS units via HF as well.....can't quite remember exactly wot they did now - its been a while....the only times I recall an occurrence we had a separate ATC unit located away 'up on the hill', and they were in a position to assist.
Hope no real damage for you, and you're still smiling.....
